Preclearance happens on Canadian soil, it's not an embassy. They would have to literally kidnap you and take you on a commercial flight to the US. If you're worried about the US kidnapping you from foreign countries, then I strongly suggest you speak to an attorney because I suspect you have bigger things to worry about than a Florida vacation.

[edit] Ah, I see, I didn't catch that you meant on arrival. I suppose that is a risk, but it does seem like you'd really have to make someone's shit list to be admitted only to then immediately be removed.



I think they meant CBP snatching you up at a port of entry regardless of your pre-clearance status.


Or literally anywhere else in the country. A week 1 priority was expanding CBP's Constitution-free purview for expedited expulsion across the entire country.


Yeah, given that they have been detaining green cards holders all bets are off.


…without charging them, and without any prior criminal record.


They could allow you to enter and then detain you when you land in the US.


If today's news tells us Trump is kidnapping people from other countries I doubt anyone would be shocked and it wouldn't even be frontpage news.


I'm fairly sure I read something yesterday about ICE making "collateral" arrests in raids.
